Translation

Verse 1

Staying in the yoga-pīṭha in a kadamba grove in Vṛndāvana, surrounded by the eight sakhīs, and with Rādhā at His side, Lord Kṛṣṇa, who charms the hearts of the whole world, plays the flute. I place my life at His feet.

Verse 2

Following the sakhī's commands, I serve the feet of the divine couple. I, Their maidsrrvant, always meditate on the divine couple's feet.

Verse 3

Sometimes They hold my hand and speak sweet words. Very happily Theyaccept the garlands I offer and chew the betelnuts I bring.

Verse 4

Sometimes They play a trick and I cannot see Them. Not seeing Them, I burn with fever.

Verse 5

I am always the maidservant at Their feet. The joy of meeting Them and the agony of separation from Them are all the same to me.

Verse 6

Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are my life. Whether I live or die, whether They save me or kill me, I pray They will always be happy.

Verse 7

Bhaktivinoda knows nothing but Them. Falling down before them, she joins the sakhīs. Always staying in Rādhā's group, she desires only the feet of the divine couple.
